When does it start Mr M?

I have a current Ancestry Account but I opened up a Free Account for my OH as I've sent for a DNA kit for him. It wouldn't let me attach records on it just now :-S

Not sure Jem, saw the post on Facebook.

Suggest you go into Ancestry as a beginner and see what happens.

They usually allow about 5/6 days for free.

It could be free just for research only not adding to trees.
